Mattias Plot is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Paris. He writes about the world around him, from the noise of social media in the modern age to the quiet ambitions of life in the city as an aspiring artist. When he’s not writing, you can find him where Paris moves fastest: the platforms of Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare de l’Est, and Gare de Lyon, turning daily commutes into something worth slowing down for. His debut single, Ecris l’histoire, is out now on Spotify.

Aria is a poet born and raised in Paris. She writes about everything that goes on in her life, from queerness to mental illness, along with love in all of its forms. Her debut poetry collection, Every Broken Thing, works as a mirror reflecting her identity: a broken yet whole portrait of a struggling le***an woman and budding young poet. The book was designed entirely by her - She made the cover drawing herself and hand makes every book in Brussels.

Copies of Aria's collection, Every Broken Thing, will be available to take home for 15 €.

It’s here! PLU13 Magazine will be for sale at this Friday from 19:00.
€15 for the magazine, a PLU tote bag and entry into the launch event.

The beautiful cover of the magazine was made by and Fail. They’ve been working on this and other paintings from this series for several years. Since this painting inspired the call for submissions we thought it appropriate to honour it by putting it on the cover of this edition on OBSESSIONS.

From 3615&Fail:

“At first they wanted their own castle in the air, but chose building their strongholds with paint on canvases, and thus be able to lodge their chimæras, alter and altar-egos, evolving freely in their world of fantasy.”
